Surviving Via Christmas

At my house in Virginia, holiday family togetherness has a tendency to get out of control. Intentional or not, inevitably we all begin eating and drinking after each other, spreading cooties, H1N1 and the like. With an average of 25 people in the house at any given moment, chaos can ensue at the drop of a hat. My lovely wife has literally tried everything to protect her precious beverages over the last 8 years of marriage. And until this morning, I thought I had seen all her tricks. I was wrong. Way to go, babe! I guess the next step would be duct tape.
